I have been to the Republic of Macedonia a few times, but I have never really been to Skopje. I've only seen Tetovo, Struga, Ohrid, and my hometown of Debar. I am really interested in exploring Skopje this year. I have a few questions:
1. As a 23 year old Albanian, should I have anything to worry about the tension between Albanians and Slavs in Skopje? I don't have any hate towards Slavs and I won't be doing things to try and offend them, but should I still be worried?
2. What are some must-see places that I should see there? (parks, museums, rivers, bridges, etc. etc.)
3. What are some good cafes, bars, and nightclubs? Is there a section of Skopje that has cool hangout spots?
4. I speak very little Macedonian, but am fluent in Albanian and English. Will I have a hard time getting around Skopje? (I will be with a relative that speaks Macedonian, but just in case since I know that 60% of Skopje is slavs.)
5. Anything else that you would like to tell me about Skopje?

what kind of a way is that to behave?
